this suppose to be only got Gamespot complete users sooo ill posted here so ya could see it>.its only half of it





Infogrames, Epic Games, and Digital Extremes all hope that the popularity of Unreal and its successors in the Unreal Tournament series will carry over to the Xbox with Unreal Championship, a new entry in the series that has quite a bit in common with the recently released Unreal Tournament 2003 for the PC. Unreal Championship also has the distinction of being one of the first games to support Microsoft's upcoming Xbox Live online gaming service, complete with voice masking, and even downloadable content later on. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to try a fully functional Xbox Live version of the game yet, though we have had an opportunity to play the game via system link, and we've also had a chance to play through the single-player campaign. From what we can tell, those looking for a fast-paced first-person shooter with plenty of firepower and clever level design probably won't be disappointed.

Unreal Championship shares many features with Unreal Tournament 2003.

Though Unreal Championship is a highly anticipated game because of its multiplayer options, the game will actually feature an entertaining single-player experience that sets out to replicate nearly every facet of the multiplayer game. Upon starting a single-player game, you'll have the chance to name your team, select from one of several different team emblems, and pick five teammates from a roster of 40 characters spread over several themed groups (such as ancient Egyptian players or a strange group of circus freaks). If you're so inclined, you can access information on the individual abilities of these characters and find out how proficient they are on offense and defense, which can be helpful when putting together a team for matches that place a strong emphasis on coordinating team attacks and defenses.

When you're done putting your team together, you'll see a screen showing the type of match coming up and the team you'll be playing against. The match types range from team deathmatch and capture the flag to double domination and bombing run. You'll have to win three battles in a row in order to move from one match type to another, but each type has up to seven maps to unlock, so, for example, you can continue to play team deathmatch and unlock all the maps before progressing into capture the flag.

If you want reviews, just read the reviews on UT2k3. :)

Sadly if you have UT2k3 then there is little to zero incentive to buy UC for the Xbox. But if you don't, it should be a killer game especially if you have Live.
